Welcome, everyone, to see Big Dick Doug and the Two-Handed Monster!
NFL: Carson Wentz is the 1st player in NFL history with 100+ attempts, 60+ completions, 5+ TDs & 0 INTs in his 1st 3 career games
ESPN: Doug Pederson/Carson Wentz join Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez (2009) as only rookie head coach/QB tandems in NFL history to start a season 3-0.
ESPN: The Eagles are the 17th team in the Super Bowl era to start 3-0, with each win coming by at least 15 points. Among the previous 16 teams to do so, half of them made the Super Bowl. Four won an NFL championship.
Reuben Frank: Eagles are the second team in NFL history to win its first 3 games by 15+ points under a new coach. The 2007 Steelers did under Mike Tomlin.

Dave Zangaro: The #Eagles lead the NFL in points scored (92), fewest points allowed (27) and point differential (+65).
Pro Football Focus: Highest adjusted completion %s among QBs this week so far: 1. Carson Wentz, 86.7% 2. Alex Smith, 84.8% 3. Andy Dalton, 82.1%
Jeff Skversky: The Eagles D has held opponents to 14 points or less in the 1st 3 games of a season for the 1st time in 24 years!
Joe Giglio: The Eagles point differential is +65. The next best? New England at +36. Total domination.
Me:
The Eagles have outscored their opponents 92-27 this season. Chip Kelly lost 37-18 today.
